Guernsey Dairy increasing wholesale milk prices

Wholesale milk prices are to increase by 6.3%

Consumers could see an increase in the cost of Guernsey Dairy milk in 2024.

The States, which owns Guernsey Dairy, said the wholesale price would rise by 6.3% from 7 January in line with inflation.

Dairy managing director Andrew Tabel said the rise would help "offset Guernsey Dairy's higher operating costs".

The shelf price of milk in Guernsey could go up if retailers decide to pass the price rise on to shoppers.

Mr Tabel said the dairy had been impacted by supply chain challenges and general volatility "due to Brexit and other geopolitical instability".

The last price change, in March, was the first such rise since January 2022.
